Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

this morning's Fox & Friends featured commercials for Trump Watches *and* Trump-branded handguns. a level of presidential grifting that was unfathomable a decade ago.

Removing Trump would be awesome if Peter Thiel’s sugar baby JD Vance wasn’t so much fucking worse. Don’t believe me? Read it for yourselves. newrepublic.com/article/1839...

Not eating animals is a very robust rule of thumb when it comes to reducing your environmental footprint and the amount of suffering your diet may be producing.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Wow! Senators Kelly and Slotkin and Reps DeLuzio, Goodlander, Houlahan, and Crow encouraging members of the military to defy illegal orders!

Leavitt: Why aren't you talking about what these members of congress are doing to encourage violence…. They're literally saying to 1.3 million active duty service members not to follow lawful orders Reporter: Actually they said illegal orders.

As Karoline Leavitt makes a dash for the exit, you can hear the voice of Kaitlan Collins of CNN, saying: "You misquoted Democrats in that video. That's actually not what they said."

Karoline Leavitt Tells Reporter Trump's 'Piggy' Insult Shows He's 'Respectful' by Being 'Honest to Your Faces'. That’s like if Dahmer complained about how a victim tasted after taking a bite.

Read the joint statement from myself, Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Representatives Jason Crow (D-CO-06), Chris Deluzio (D-PA-17), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH-02), and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA-06):

Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging. Here’s my response:

Karoline Leavitt is angrily touting September's job numbers to the media right now. She can't talk about October's job numbers because the White House refuses to release those.

NEW: Donald Trump today endorsed a call to hang Democratic members of Congress. This is not just another Trump transgression. This is another warning.

To understand JD Vance, you need to meet the “TheoBros.” These extremely online young Christian men want to end the 19th Amendment, restore public flogging, and make America white again.

After 20 years in the Navy, Buzz Grambo thought he'd spend his retirement playing video games and watching baseball. Instead, he patrols the streets of Baltimore to protect his neighbors from ICE. He even upgraded his scooter to a Segway that reaches 26 mph to keep up with the agents. My latest:

Federal prosecutors revealed the grand jury in the criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey never reviewed or voted on the final indictment. If the court decides to dismiss the indictment, it could end the DOJ’s prosecution entirely. https://bit.ly/3LGwoZc

Everyone in the US knows: Swastikas and nooses ARE hate symbols. They do not belong anywhere, including the Coast Guard. (WTAF?)

Who could've predicted this? 😒

The President of the United States is calling for sitting Members of Congress to be killed. Every death threat against them and their families will be on his hands. Regardless of your party, every American should loudly condemn this.

A horrifying graphic from Pew showing the fruits of the right wing war on public health. Only 48% of Republicans believe that vaccines prevent serious illness, while 80% of Democrats do. This is not a difference of opinion in science. This is the result of a ruthless disinformation campaign.

Centuries before the American Revolution, Native nations created sophisticated systems to prevent tyranny: consensus councils, balanced leadership and protections for future generations. Their political blueprint rivals anything the founders designed. buff.ly/2a2MI7X #KenBurns

Corruption at every level of government. Inconvenient truths are eradicated.

I posted Trump’s unhinged screed announcing he’s signed the Epstein files but it contains so many lies that I deleted my post and will just tell you that Trump announced on social media he has signed the Epstein files

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office. He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people. Release the transcript.

We hear that Putin and Trump (or their emissaries) have been secretly consulting about a settlement to the war. Given the inherent traps of allowing an aggressor to decide the outcome of his war, I try here to give a sense of how negotiations might actually work. snyder.substack.com/p/how-to-neg...

To our USPHS colleagues deployed to ICE: These missions are hard. We see you. Keep providing the most compassionate care possible 💚 And if you see harm or neglect - SPEAK UP Report it through the channels. If they ignore you, leak it. (DM us; we can help) Your duty is to protect human lives 💚

Part 2

Montage of 19 clips of Trump insulting, berating, demeaning and attacking female reporters over the past few months. Part 1.

It really is disgusting that Trump can insult, berate, single out, threaten, and demean female reporters on a daily basis for asking fair and legitimate questions and you can’t find a single Republican woman in Congress to say it is inappropriate behavior.

You may not be able to afford rent and groceries, and your health insurance may be about to skyrocket in 42 days, but the good news is that the Saudis got F-35s, nuclear tech, and security guarantees after putting hundreds of millions in Trump’s pocket.

This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal. This a real thing happening today. Don't look away.

Brutally accurate.

All those House Republican frauds who voted for the exact same discharge petition they refused to sign for months hoping it would never come to the floor are now trying to act like they always supported it.

Big time suss

The rainforest the world forgot. The Congo basin is the second largest rainforest on Earth, and a critical defence against climate breakdown and species loss. Why then, is it so neglected? share.google/HrPOEJxfATQX...

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

Excellent, excellent piece. Take a few moments to read it. thepreamble.com/p/the-racist...

Can confirm that Fox News totally ignored the press conference where Epstein survivors and lawmakers called for the release of the Epstein files. Last week, they ignored key revelations from the Epstein emails. These omissions depict a false reality to their viewers.

Really ties all the threads together, this one

Lost in the reporting: Know who’s not in the Epstein files? Latinos. Black people. Poor people. Immigrants. Trans people. All the “DEI” people. 1/

With subsidies, I am paying $34 per month. If subsidies are not renewed, it will be over $1500 per month with a $10,000 deductible. Not doable.

Every single news story about Trump hosting MBS at the WH today should include the tremendously lucrative business deals the Saudis have done this year with Trump Org to enrich Trump and his family personally, which is the primary reason why this is happening.

But his emails.

Raskin: "We hear even the Speaker of the House openly inviting the US Senate to start finger painting on this bill, which we have waited more than 5 months to bring to the floor. The Senate should pass the bill exactly as it's written ... the president could release the Epstein files right now!"
